Sted 2 4. Two particles A and B having charges 80% 10°C and =20%10°FC respectively are held fixed with a separation of 20¢m. Where shosid a third charged Particle be placed so that it does not experience a net electric force? 3 Three equal charges, cach having a mognitude of 20%10°*6, are placed at the three corners of a right. Angled triangle of sides Sem, 4m and 6 cm. Find the force on the charge at the right-angle corner. 3. If @ body is charged by rubbing it, its weight (a) remains precisely constant ) increases slightly (©) decreases slightly (@) may increase slightly or may decrease slightly. 41. What Is the force between two small charged spheres having charges of 2 x 107 7¢ and 3 x 10-7C placed 30 cm apart in air? So The electrostatic force on a small sphere of charge 0.4 uC due to another small sphere of charge -0.8 pC in air Is 0.2 N. (a) What is the distance between the two spheres? (b) What is the force on the second sphere due to the first? 6 ia) Explain the meaning of the statement ‘electric charge of a body is quantised’. (b) Why can one ignore quantisation of electric charge when dealing with macroscopic i.e,, large scale charges? 7. Four point charges qq = 2 UC, gg = -5 pC, dc = 2 HC, and qp = -5 UC are located at the comers of a square ABCD of side 10 cm. What Is the force on a charge of 1 sC placed at the centre of the square? Efe drostet %. Apolythene piece rubbed with wool is -7 tound to have a negative charge of 3x10 ic (a) Estimate the number of electrons transferred (from which to which?) (b) Is there a transfer of mass from wool to polythene? Q. {a) Two insulated charged copper spheres A and B have their centres separated by a distance of 50 cm. What is the mutual force of electrostatic repulsion If the charge on each is 6.5 x 10-7 C? The radii of A and B are negligible compared to the distance of separation. (b) What Is the force of repulsion if each sphere Is charged double the above amount, and the distance between them Is halved? lo. Suppose the spheres A and B in qvetion 4. have identical sizes. A third sphere of the same size but uncharged is brought in contact with the first, then brought in contact with the second, and finally removed from both. What is the new force of repulsion between A and B? Tl. Figure 1.33 shows tracks of three charged particles In a uniform electrostatic field. Give the signs of the three charges, Which particle has the highest charge to mass ratio? a ——O y —-@ sa Figure 1.33 Scanned with CamScanner
